Pros & Cons

Pros

Top-Rated School District: The property is located within the highly desirable Los Altos school district, including Covington Elementary, Egan Middle, and Los Altos High Schools, a significant draw for families.
Fully Updated & Turn-Key Condition: The unit is fully updated with modern upgrades, including Quartz kitchen countertops, newer stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, dual-paned windows, and central A/C with a smart NEST thermostat, making it move-in ready.
Strategic Location & Commute: Conveniently located near major commuting options (CalTrain, Hwys 101 & 85) and offers easy access to San Antonio Shopping Center and The Village for shopping, dining, and entertainment.
Penthouse & Quiet Interior Location: As a rarely available penthouse condo, it benefits from no upstairs neighbors and is tucked away in the central courtyard, providing a serene retreat away from train noise.
Versatile Bonus Room & Dual Parking: Includes a bonus room/den that can serve as a guest room, home office, or formal dining room, adding flexibility, along with two parking spaces (one assigned, one unassigned) and additional storage.

Cons

Condo Living Limitations: Despite being a penthouse, it is still a condominium, which typically involves shared walls with adjacent units and adherence to HOA rules and regulations, potentially limiting personal modifications or outdoor space.
Unit Size: With 1 bedroom plus a bonus room and 769 sqft, the overall living space might be considered compact for some buyers, especially those seeking more expansive accommodations or planning for family growth.
HOA Fees: The monthly HOA fee of $500, while inclusive of water, garbage, and sewer, represents a significant recurring cost that could impact affordability and long-term budgeting for potential buyers.
